Seat Belts For Older Children
Children over 1.50 m in height can wear seat
belts instead of using child restraints.
Use this simple 5-step test to decide whether
the seat belt properly fits the child or if they
should still use a Group 2 or Group 3 child
restraint to improve the fit of the seat belt:
1. Can the child sit all the way back against
the back of the vehicle seat?
2. Do the child's knees bend comfortably over
the front of the vehicle seat – while the child
is still sitting all the way back?
3. Does the shoulder belt cross the child's
shoulder between the neck and arm?
4. Is the lap part of the belt as low as possible,
touching the child's thighs and not the
stomach?
5. Can the child stay seated like this for the
whole trip?
If the answer to any of these questions was
"no," then the child still needs to use a Group
2 or 3 child restraint in this vehicle. If the child
is using the lap/shoulder belt, check belt fit
periodically and make sure the seat belt
buckle is latched. A child's squirming or
slouching can move the belt out of position. If
the shoulder belt contacts the face or neck,
move the child closer to the center of the
vehicle, or use a booster seat to position the
seat belt on the child correctly.
WARNING!
Never allow a child to put the shoulder belt
under an arm or behind their back. In a crash,
the shoulder belt will not protect a child
properly, which may result in serious injury or
death. A child must always wear both the lap
and shoulder portions of the seat belt
correctly.
SAFETY
ISOFIX Restraint System
Fig. E
Your vehicle is equipped with the child restraint
anchorage system called ISOFIX. This system
allows ISOFIX-equipped child seats to be
installed without using the vehicle's seat belts.
The ISOFIX system has two lower anchorages
located at the back of the seat cushion where it
meets the seatback and a top tether anchorage
located behind the seating position.
An example of a Universal ISOFIX child restraint
system for weight group 1 is shown in fig. E.
ISOFIX child restraints are also available in the
other weight groups.
